Hello, dear cRPG players! I have several good news for you:
1. Current status of cRPG and WSE2 porting to Warband 1.174 is 90% done. I will make it live very soon, be tolerant to possible glitches. What this means for a regular player? cRPG will get a LOT of new mechanics and fixes of existing broken ones. A lot of new visual opportunities (i.e. we will be finally possible to show BOTH body part and an armor -> sandals/berserker armors/etc with real skin color). We will finally force WSE2 to play cRPG. WSE2 will also have built-in anti-cheat so existing cheaters will have hard times.
2. I developed new AI for DTV (and possibly other game modes). It is in early beta but it already works! Some info about it:
· It has a realistic human reaction delay, so it is possible to outfeint it in certain circumstances, not just full autoblock
· It adapts to your items. AI will try to outreach you and keep distance if you use shorter weapon, it won't try to block/chamber when you can't possibly reach it (taking all the animations of all weapon types into consideration). It will try to evade crushtrough overheads to sides. It will backpedal while switching from ranged to melee to prevent being hit and will also switch back to ranged if it can't reach you.
· AI will also switch targets much more effectively taking a lot of factors into consideration (distances, number of bots following a player already etc).
Learn more about AI when it gets live, it makes DTV much more competitive and fun!
3. Free reforges won't be a thing by tomorrow or day after tomorrow. If you didn't read announcement to this point - bad luck, make sure you reforge all your existing items to loompoints to decide what you want to stay with later.
